TIE PROPOSED DIVISION OF AL.
TukAS.

TUkAS.
Since her organization no Legisla-
ture has ever sat in BOISE without one
or more attempts being made to d.
vide Alturas county; and there is no
Likelihood of the present Legislature
being an exception in this respect
In fact, we already know of two bills
that have been prepared to divide US.
One seeks to cut off that portion of
Eastern Alturas lying between the
American Falls and Lost River; the
other proposes to cut out the Oregon
Short Line and portion Of the Wood
River branch, and, with Rocky Bar
and Atlanta, form q new county.
Neither should pass.
All these schemes are either born
in Boise City, or traced to . small
clique OF politicians who live there.
These men care nothing for the veal
or woe of communities, and have no
higher aspiration than to live "high''
without other effort than is required
to log-roll. 1t is strange that our
legislators-men sent there to further
the interests Of their constitucn ts, and
who, for that reason, are supposed to
be the ablest Of their respective CON-
munities---should permit such cattle
to influence them; but they do.
The people, the taxpayers, do not
desire the formation of new counties;
aud while we remain in our territorial
condition they never will. They
never will because they know that
now counties would only mean more
idlers, more worthless politicians to
support; more courthouse and othe,
jobs; more hard earned money wrung
from those who can lily spare it tc
maintain in luxury persons who, il
they got their deserts, would pass
their lives behind prison bars. This

Scattering Shots.

Representative Fletcher, having received
the prize for being the handsomest member
of the legislature, Representatives Milti-
more and Dutch and Senator Harstad must
give DER the palm.
Here's to Dakota's first democratic
goyernor-His Excellency M. l.. McCor-
mack. And here's to Gilbert A. Pierce,
the retiring governor whose record as the
Territory's chief executive is an honor to
himself, to his party and to the people.
The Rainbow party was a great success
last evening, made so, no doubt, by the
peculiar harmony between the name and
the weather. OF course, the solons were
present, and they are now awaiting an in
yitation to a Sunstroke ball or a Simeon
sociable.
Major G. W. Buttz, of Lisbon, arrived in
the city yesterday morning, and with one
eye on the supreme court and another on
the legislature is telling his experience as
granger of Dakota to the industrious rep
resentatives of the Farmers alliance now
in the city.
Judge I. E. West, secretary of the rail-
road commission, is in the city and is
prompt in announcing that although re-
publican he believes Judge Church to be
an elegant gentleman. There are rs re-
publican Office holders in Dakota with
whom the judge can get up no argument
on this point. :.
DR.. o. w. Archibald, superintendent of
the insane asylum at Jamestown, arrived
in the city yesterday and states that never
since the establishment of the institution
have patients arrived in such alarming
numbers as during the past few days. And
yet, the legislature has been in session but
three weeks.

GOVERNOR HANN1F1N's VIEWS.

8 GOVERNOR HANNIFIN's VIEWS.
4 Squatter Governor Hannifin was an in
terested spectator during the meeting of
the railroad committee last evening. At the
close of the meeting and after hearing the
arguments of the farmers, he was inter-
viewed on the railroad question, with the
following result:
"Why, I'll tell you what I think about
it," replied Denny,as he raised his right
shoulder and adjusted his eccentric goatee
to conversational angle, Il believe that
this railroad talk is all wind. be-
lieve in wiping every railroad from
the face of the earth, and going
back to the times when man had to be a
thoroughbred to navigate on these prairies.
was here before railroads, when tender
feet were unknown and blatherskites were
elevated to high positions on the trees.
We've got too much civilization, and it's
running the country. There was a time
when a man had to be sun-dried and case
hardened to infest these plains but now
every dude and milk-sop in Christendom
can get here on the cars I'm in favor of
ripping up every railroad tie and burning
every railroad bridge in Dakota. If had
my way I'd melt the rails and turn them
into fishhooks and spears and weapons of
war. I'd sell the cars and have a
line with prairie schooners for coaches
and brindle bulls for locomotives, and I'd
make this man Loucks president of the
road with instructions to issue passes to no
man that wears a boiled shirt. Pm firm
believer in the doctrine of total annihila-
ton and would play it to the limit. Give
me the good old days when public opinion
was unknown and "Foot and Walkers

to me quick: II I 60 into the reform busi-
ness I'll nail the black flag to the mast and
the rake-off must be complete. This dilly-
dallying and divy of the pots is all boys
play and I'll never be satisfied until we re-
turn to the days of prairie schooners and
tents.''
And saying this the emphatic governor
turned upon his heel and scurred away to
the sinch room.
